Song of the Christmas Tree By Gene Morgan
A poem from northern forests reflects on a green evergreen tree under threat from a woodman. It contrasts harsh fate with a hopeful message that the tree will stay green as it is cut and turned into a symbol for children. The origin of the Christmas tree is traced to Egypt, predating Christianity, with the palm tree used as a yearly symbol.
